Chef Tips:

• For good, clean and well portioned breast cuts it is best to buy them readily chopped out from any of your local butchery
• Make sure your pan is very hot to ensure that the juices remain sealed within the meat and prevent it from sticking to the pan
• When grating your lemon use the finer part of the grater
• All the above ingredients are a selection of easily available items from any local store world wide

Compliments:

• This is a good dish to opt for as a lunch meal in a warm weather but most preferably in the spring season, as spring is all about colour and vibrancy and this dish is a great complement to this effects
• It can be best served with Mashed Potatoes or Risotto.
• For a richer taste you can add a little beat of grated Cheddar Cheese to the Mashed Potato while it is still hot.
• Pair this dish with your choice Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay and eat to your greatest delight
